Cleaning women washing a crucifix, 1938

THE ACTUAL REASON FOR THE “DESTRUCTION” OF THE LIBRARY IS AS MUNDANE AS ANY OTHER LIBRARY CLOSING— ALEXANDRIAN SCHOLARSHIP HAD DECLINED IN PROMINENCE AND THE LIBRARY WAS LACKING IN GOVERNMENT FUNDS AND PUBLIC SUPPORT. UPON ITS CLOSING, MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE WORKS CONTAINED IN THE LIBRARY WOULD HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED AMONG ITS DAUGHTER LIBRARIES. BY THE TIME THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL LIBRARY WAS DESTROYED, IT’S UNLIKELY IT WAS EVEN STILL IN OPERATION.

IT’S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT THE POPULAR STORY OF THE LIBRARY BEING MALICIOUSLY BURNED AT ITS PEAK IN ORDER TO WIPE OUT THE KNOWLEDGE CONTAINED THEREIN STARTED AS AN ISLAMOPHOBIC LIBEL BY A CHRISTIAN BISHOP (GREGORY BAR HEBRÆUS) WHO CLAIMED THAT THE “MOSLEM” CALIPH OMAR BURNED THE “GREAT LIBRARY CONTAINING ALL THE KNOWLEDGE OF YHE WORLD” BECAUSE THE WORKS INSIDE WOULD LIKELY CONTRADICT THE QU’RAN. THIS IS 100% A FABRICATION WRITTEN OVER 300 YEARS AFTER OMAR’S DEATH BY A CHRISTIAN INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO PIN ATROCITIES ON MUSLIMS IN ORDER TO DISCREDIT THEIR FAITH

BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE REAL MOTIVATION BEHIND THE STORY IS WILDLY BIGOTED, MANY BLAME THE EMPEROR THEODOSIUS FOR THE LIBRARY’S DESTRUCTION, SINCE HE DID ORDER THE RAZING OF THE TEMPLE THAT HOUSED THE LIBRARY IN ORDER TO WIPE OUT PAGANISM IN THE REGION AND REPLACE IT WITH CHRISTIANITY. HOWEVER, BY THIS TIME, THE LIBRARY WAS ALREADY MOSTLY (IF NOT ENTIRELY) DEFUNCT, AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT WOULD’VE SURVIVED IN THE MANY COPIES MADE BY ALMOST EVERY SCRIBE WHO STUDIED THERE

OTHERS ATTEMPT TO BLAME CAESAR, WHO DID IN FACT START A FIRE IN THE PART OF THE CITY THE LIBRARY WAS HOUSED IN THAT MIGHT HAVE AFFECTED PART OF THE LIBRARY’S WAREHOUSES, BUT THIS FIRE HAPPENED SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE THE LIBRARY’S ULTIMATE CLOSURE. AS MANY HISTORIANS WILL POINT OUT, CAESAR HAD HIS SHARE OF ENEMIES, AND HAD HE BEEN RESPONSIBLE, THERE WOULD BE MORE SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION THAN “CAESAR STARTED A FIRE NEAR THE LIBRARY ONCE HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE IT WAS DESTROYED”

like I can see a predator watching how y'all justify minor / adult ships and feeling validated. they don’t just enact violence outside of the internet. they are real people who consume media just like you and me. those of you who ship children with adults share a space with actual predators

it’s also wild to me that y'all don’t think a pedophile could ever be an artist or writer. I guarantee you they are content creators you enjoy on social media. you’re giving them a space to safely express their interests and you validate their inclination to hurt real children when you promote “hebephilia” as healthy. every time you say “the technical definition of pedophilia is 13 years old and younger”, some adult freak feels better about being attracted to a 14 year old. saved by the bell huh!

you’re harboring actual predators, making them feel great about themselves, giving them a platform in fandom & the ability to harass minors into silence with that platform. it isn’t just desensitizing kids, it’s also desensitizing predators

this is an article about Alvaro Pascual-Leone’s neurology study at Harvard Medical. it’s actually almost a decade old at this point. in this study, he had a group play a simple piano exercise for one week, and he had another group only imagine playing the piano exercise for one week. in group one - the piano-practicing group - a new network of neurons blossomed in the brain to accompany the repetitive motion practiced on the piano. in the group that only imagined playing, the same thing happened. 

the brain can and does form new neural connections when you only imagine something, even if you take no action. it doesn’t mean that everyone who’s ever had a bad thought is now a criminal, but this is a legitimate study that suggests that a concentrated, sustained effort – like a hobby, or writing, or shipping – results in real, measurable structural changes in your brain. you shouldn’t even need a study like this to prove “you resemble what you surround yourself with,” but here it is.

as a survivor of CSA, i am 100% not okay with anyone engaging with this topic in their leisure time*, and i think that “shipping” is the lamest excuse i’ve ever fucking heard to engage in real, damaging behavior. an abuse survivor who ships “because they’re traumatized” doesn’t get a pass, nor should they consume or create this content. i hate it when this gets brought up because it’s victim-blaming, using severely mentally ill people you don’t even care about as props, and describes a tragic method by which a victim grows into a perpetrator.

nobody’s fucking shippy feels or orgasm is above scrutiny and condemnation, nor are these things above the well-being of other people.

Real pedophiles use nsfw art of minors to groom children in real life. They use the art and fanfic and shit you write to say “Hey look this character that is your age is doing this, so it’s okay!” They legit do this. I’ve had real life actual victims tell me they do this.

the user captain-planet-official, who got popular from posts like this masking as environmental care (as most ecofascists do):

frequently slip in bits of white supremacist/racist/antisemitic commentary or ideals between posts, such as these:

or even the user outright requesting fashwave images from other fascists on here:

i’m not only worried about this for the sake of kicking weird fascist cunts like this off of the site, but also because of the fact that his entire persona has been attracting minors who don’t understand the undertone or even ecofascism itself. i’ve recently talked to one who had drawn fan art for the page! this isn’t good at all!

They’re both pay-your-own-price aka FREE AS SHIT and are part of the NITW universe!!! Longest Night directly deals with Mae & friends while Lost Constellation is a ghost story in the canon.
